A mother may forgetful be

Anne Steele • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 49:14

Verse 1

A mother may forgetful be, For human love is frail; But thy Creator's love to thee, O Zion, cannot fail.

Verse 2

No: thy dear name engraven stands, In characters of love, On thine almighty Father's hands, And never shall remove.

Verse 3

Before his ever-watchful eye Thy mournful state appears, And every groan, and every sigh, Divine compassion hears.

Verse 4

O Zion, learn to doubt no more, Be every fear suppressed; Unchanging truth, and love, and power, Dwell in thy Saviour's breast.
